The basic formula to calculate GDP

The basic formula to calculate GDP is the sum of all the private consumption, gross investment, and government spending in addition to Exports minus imports.

GDP = Private Consumption + Gross Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports

Net Exports= Exports - Imports

 GDP = C + I + G + X - M

C = Consumption expenditure

I = Investment

G = Government spending

X = Exports

M = Imports

(X – M) = Net export

In the Income method, we calculate GDP on total Income earned by the factors of production, i.e. labor and capital within a country’s geographical boundaries. 

GDP= A + T - S

A = GDP at Factor expense

T = Taxes

S = Subsidies

The output method estimates the monetary value of all the goods and services produced within the country. To prevent complicated calculation of GDP due to price level adjustments, GDP is calculated at constant prices or actual GDP.

GDP= B - T + S

B – GDP at a constant prize or actual GDP

T – Taxes

S – Subsidies
